After the superb side project California Son, which he entirely dedicated to unexpected and occasionally obscure covers (Roy Orbison, Melanie, Laura Nyro, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Dylan, 5th Dimension, Jobriath, Phil Ochs, Tim Hardin, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon), Morrissey returns to his own compositions. This time, the ex-Smiths vocalist (who is also known for his vocal points of view that often get written about in the tabloids) delivers an eclectic array of songs that is distinctly less rock’n’roll on the whole. This time, the sound is rather pop, often groovy but never overly seductive, the climax being the single Bobby, Don’t You Think They Know? sung in a duet with disco soul powerhouse Thelma Houston. Some tracks even sound rather like The Smiths… Lyrically, Moz unsurprisingly remains anti-everything: media, establishment, open-mindedness, consumerism. As for his Marmite crooner’s voice, it excels in the final track My Hurling Days Are Done, punctuating a rather interesting thirteenth album. ©️ Marc Zisman/Qobuz
